You say: "And we want developers back on our side. If there's more for us to do, we'll go do it,"
maybe then you can show some good faith and put some action behind those words? don't want to open up java any more? fine, then at least remove the ridiculous redistribtion limitations
since you're giving away the software, you're left to making $$ from hardware and services. try being a little more friendly with those seeking to buy your hardware, and maybe you'll see a resurgence in hardware sales
because of the tactics you've employed in the past, i chose to not buy an opteron system from you and instead opted for another vendor. change your tactics and perhaps you'll start seeing a resurgance of your customer base
well, if they would instead keep the firmware on the card, and not require the driver to load it each time, they wouldn't have that problem
however, for some reason, companies want to hand us shitty hardware and a costs savings of just a few $$/unit. when said unit costs $50+, i'd rather pay the extra $$ for better hardware (read, wireless nics + nvram vs. driver-uploaded firmware; good ole AT modem vs winmodem POS)
the openbsd project isn't asking for the firmware to be opened up and licensed with a bsd license. they are simply asking for the rights to redistribute the firmware with the base os. as it stands, the license on the firmware doesn't permit that

good for you. so, you've about stopped responding on slashdot because of 'people like me'. it's still your choice to come here, no? it's still your choice to not come here, no? i think that that, choice, is something that makes the USA great. unfortunately, our rights to make choices like that are being taken away, one by one.
as for not seeing it... have you looked? i have and what i've found is scary. me, a conspiracy theorist? feel free to think that.
as for the what the law says... please show me where the laws says exactly what is indecent and obscene. stern has a daily audience anywhere from 12 to 20 million people. that is a healthy percentage of this country, and, come this november, a large percentage of his audience will be doing something to try and change the composition of this republic
what laws? show me the law that says discussing anal sex is an offense that commands a fine and possibly revocation of license? frankly, i think if there was more public discussion where people could freely discuss better blowjob techniques, the world would be a better place
oh... there isn't any law that says *exactly* what's obscene/indecent and what's not
furthermore, if badnarick and cobb and nader and the others didn't waste time/money getting on the ballot in all 50 states, and instead focused on the 12-15 states needed to get the electoral college, maybe we'd be somewhere. in the mean time, i'm not voting for bush
it is not the place of the FCC, or anything else.gov to tell us what is and is not obscene or good or bad or right or wrong
the FCC should do one thing, and one thing only. make sure station A's broadcast does not interfere with station B's broadcast
here's the beauty of capitalism. don't like something? don't support it. you like something? support it. isn't that tough? but, i guess it'd be easier for you to have the gov't tell you what's right and wrong, huh?
don't like stern? change the channel. go find rush limbaugh... i mean, listening to the hateful, snobby, law-breaking things he says is soooo much better than seeing a tit on tv for 2 seconds
futhermore, have you ever listened to Stern's show? my guess is no. there are no obscenities. why? because the FCC has a hard-on for Stern/Viacom/Infinity (aka anything but Clear Channel/big-time Bush supporting Mays family) and Stern/Viacom/Infinity censor the shows themselves
so now, because of people like you, thinking it's the gov't's job to censor 'bad' things from you, the FCC wants to start regulating satellite tv and radio, voip, and the internet. thanks
i am a roman catholic. that means i'm a Christian. i don't hate anyone. i may dislike someone, but i don't hate
i don't care what people believe. islam is fine. judaism is fine
what's *not* fine is when someone in a position of power (dubya) uses that power to push their own agenda ('christianity, morals'). when they do it in the name of something, that makes it even worse
i don't consider him to be very christian-like in many of the things he does
i am (roman) catholic. to hear the president say his role model is Jesus, and proceed (albeit a few years later) to see how to legalize torturing prisoners from this war on terror, scares the fuck out of me
when the 'leader' of the free world makes it so well-known he is a 'Christian', then proceeds to act the way he has, it's no wonder osama and friends are going ape-shit all over the world
as for others... John Ashcroft is a *horrible* offender... this dude is hardcore pentecostal. sam brownback is another. go look up and read some about the C Street Center aka Fellowship aka Foundation aka MotherFuckersDoingWeirdShitIn"Christ's"Name

no, don't talk to mirrordot. their uplink is also my uplink =)

they did. but that's sealed in the indictment/legal mumbo jumbo
well, seeing as how this day has gone, the out of work part might be right relatively soon
I am psychic. It will work so well in Seattle, you'll be very pleased.
That said, using my psychic abilities, I'd like to save you a little work.
I think your next target city should be Phoenix Metro, specifically Tempe, and even more specifically, the corner of University and Mill.
The fact that I live at that crossroad is just a coincidence, I promise.
Thanks.

afterall, someone has to pay for fcc chairman powell's first class flights to new orleans and las vegas
do your calculations take into consideration that the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat?
well, seeing as how they got the source code in the first place, i think they could figure something out
then again, what the hell do i know? my president worked for an oil company and couldn't find oil in texas, so, who knows?
don't bitch about the president during the next 4 years

pick all three
precisely
so, when you go on tv or radio and say fuck or shit or flash a tittie, i won't expect to see you fined

you may view the oprah and stern transcripts here and decide for yourself
howard can't be fined personally ... yet
the new indecency legislation, still being circulated by senator brownback, would allow for stern to be personally fined. it's ridiculous
